ADD VOICE (SPEECH) CAPABILITY TO YOUR ASP.NET

Adding speech functionality to your site is so easy using the COM API available in the SAPI has a text-to-speech engine (TTS).

Mind you every machine with Windows XP has SAPI and TTS.

All you need do is to add a reference to a COM dll available in Microsoft Speech Object Library.

The dll's name is Interop.SpeechLib.dll

Namespace declare your dll as using SpeechLib;

Create a text box that will contain your text, add a button that will trigger the voice conversion as shown below:


protected void btnVoice_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();
try
{
voice.Speak(spText.Text, SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}

QED. You are done now. Just make sure your speakers are on and you have got the right volume.
